Hermès in the Making in Shenzhen
Meet the artisans behind Hermès’ sustainable craftsmanship
Tide Square, Shenzhen Talent Park
17th May to 1st June, 2025
Discover how we craft objects designed to last and be repaired, to be used and passed down through generations.
Since its founding in 1837, six generations of artisans have safeguarded and nurtured their historic know-how in the Hermès workshops. This heritage is a living, flourishing and constantly evolving treasure trove of artisanal skills. Hermès in the Making brings craftspeople from nearly ten of the house’s métiers to offer a sneak-peek into their expert techniques and exclusive know-how. Their work echoes the heart of Hermès: preserving and developing savoir-faire – expertise which is often linked to a historical tradition or region – a quest for quality, durability and innovation, and respect for the surrounding environments.
This event features live demonstrations, workshops, interactive activities, and films spread throughout the space. Customize your visit according to your curiosity and interests.

A culture of traditional craftsmanship
Since the creation of Hermès in 1837, the six generations of craftsmen who have succeeded each other in the workshops have preserved and nurtured their know-how. The repertoire of craftsmanship skills is vibrant and continually growing.
High-quality materials
Kaolin, stone, straw, wood, leather, silk, horn… Exceptional materials of mineral, plant and animal origin are elevated by Hermès artisans.
The talent of our regions
Hermès has established its production facilities in regions that have long-standing specific know-how, such as silk in Lyon, glove-making in Haute-Vienne, and porcelain in Limousin.
Time, our ally
The house’s creations are of their time, but they have no planned obsolescence: Hermès objects are designed to last, to be repaired and passed on.
